School holidays 2025: When the Germans enjoy their time -out!
In Germany, the students have a total of 75 days of school holidays every year. The distribution of these holidays is designed differently in the different federal states. The goal of these offset holiday phases is to avoid travel traffic and to avoid overload in popular holiday regions. The students in several federal states are currently enjoying the Easter holidays, which most countries are scheduled from March to April 2025. These are scheduled between March 10 and April 26, 2025, with some federal states already on vacation, while others are still involved in regular lessons. There are currently Bremen, Hesse, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia during the Easter holidays.
federal states that will only start on vacation later are, for example, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein. In Hamburg, however, the lessons were resumed after the holidays.
